Ublue is thriving! Secureblue is a security optimized Fork which also just works for most things!

There is Fedora Kinoite beta, help find bugs in Pladma 6 and report them, as there are still many!

Here’s to another year of the Linux Desktop! (been ~15 years for me) 🎉

What is the purpose of these copyright lines on comments?

Think AI training. I might write a blurb somewhere that I can link to someday, but that’s the gist of it.

Do you have any evidence that writing that line actually works to keep AI from using your comment? If some of the biggest authors alive can’t keep their words out of the algorithm, I’m not convinced that a Lemmy comment stands a chance.

Do you add license information? Wouldn’t that make a conversation harder to read? Why not just put it into your profile description?

I firmly believe this will be the year of the Wayland Desktop. Everything is shaping up to finishing off the transition for regular people and further stabilisation of the Wayland desktop space.

This won’t be the year of the Wayland desktop for me unless I can afford to replace my Nvidia card this year. I’ll never buy one again, but I’ve still gotta suffer with the one I have a bit longer.

Depending on your requirements, you could get a used Radeon RX 570 or 580 pretty cheaply. I’ve done this around Christmas and it’s quite the difference compared to the Nvidia card I used before when it comes to Wayland.

As someone who dabbles in Linux but is ultimately a regular people, what’s the advantage of this?

X11 is a super old system from the 80s designed for computers the size of our living room.

Wayland is pretty new and made for today’s devices. It’s simpler code wise (therefore easier to maintain and contribute), ensures modern functions (like smooth 1:1 gestures), is more secure, smoother, draws less power/ ressources, could enable HDR in the future, better multi monitor support, and much more.

It’s a difference between night and day. If you use Gnome or KDE, try it for some time. Wayland is usually the default for both by now and X11 only exists for legacy stuff.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
